Prof. Diaa Khalil has over 35 years of experience in micro photonics systems, including integrated optoelectronics and optical MEMS technology. He obtained his PhD from INPG France in 1993.
Diaa Khalil is a Professor of photonics in the Faculty of Eng., Ain Shams University since 2004. In 2015 He was the Head of the ECE Dept., and in 2017 He became the Vice dean of Research and Post Graduate. From 2019 to Feb. 2021, he was the Acting dean of the School of Engineering. He introduced the courses of Integrated Optics, Optical MEMS, and Applied Optical Engineering for the post-graduate engineering students. He is also leading a group of scientists working in the field of Photonic microsystems. He supervised more than 80 MSc and PhD thesis in the fields of: Optics, Optoelectronics, Applied Spectroscopy, Optical MEMS and integrated Optics.
Diaa Khalil was also the CTO of the Optical MEMS Division in Si-Ware Systems from 2007 - 2020, leading a group of talented engineers developing an innovative FTIR MEMS spectrometer, a unique product that gained the Prism award in the Photonics West conference 2014 in SF USA. Prior to joining SWS, he worked with MEMScAP company as the head of the optical MEMS design group where he led the design and characterization of a 2×2 switch, and introduced a novel VOA (variable Optical Attenuator) achieving the world record of minimum PDL reported for wide dynamic range.
Prof. Diaa Khalil is a holder of the Egyptian state incentive prize in engineering sciences in 1998, and the Egyptian State appreciation prize in Engineering science in 2021. He is a senior member in the OSA, the SPIE, the IEEE Photonic Society, and URSI. He is currently the head of commission D in the National URSI committee, in Egypt.
He is also a member in the editorial board of the journal, “Light: Science and Applications - Nature Publishing Group NPG. He is inventor of about 20 granted international patents and more than 10 other patent applications. He is author and

This course provides an overview of the Optical MEMS technology from an engineering point of view. First, the course will explain the main features of the Optical MEMS market showing the different segments and the characteristics of each segment. Then, the course will give an overview of the main technologies in this domain showing the pros and cons of each technology from an industrial point of view and indicating some of their success stories. The attendees will then go through the details of the analysis and design of optical MEMS components. This includes the optical propagation through micro structures as well as the mechanical design of some common actuators (Comb drive actuator, thermal actuator, etc.) to be able to understand and appreciate the compatibility and contradictions faced when performing such designs. The course will be suitable for a beginner engineer who wants to penetrate the field of Optical MEMS as it allows him to ramp-up rapidly and jump into the initial design of a working optical MEMS component in a very short time.
